"Miss Jane, the world you live in must be quite interesting."

Over the years, Xiao Wuyu has eaten very simple food here, and he doesn't care much about his appetite. But this steaming hot pot has whetted his appetite.

Dipping it in the sauce Jian Ning had prepared for him, he ate with great relish, his mouth filled with its delicious flavor. He couldn't stop praising it.

"Yes, it's a pity that human strength can't compete with natural disasters. The people over there are just ordinary people who don't know how to cultivate immortality. It's really too difficult to use human strength to fight against natural disasters."

Although the spiritual energy has recovered somewhat in the post-apocalyptic world, Jian Ning still prefers the high-rise buildings and bustling traffic of the pre-apocalyptic world.

She didn't want her own place to become so dilapidated, with people living peaceful and prosperous lives. But that wasn't something she could achieve alone.

After dinner, Xiao Wuyu began teaching the formation method. Jian Ning had some basic knowledge in this area, although she wasn't very proficient, but fortunately, she grasped things quickly. She wasn't particularly slow-witted.

Moreover, Xiao Wuyu was truly an excellent teacher, effortlessly demonstrating even ancient formations. His explanations to her were remarkably clear.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Jian Ning's alchemy skills had already reached level five.

The progress is like a rocket launch. Significant improvements have also been made in formations, and Xiao Wuyu's health has recovered remarkably well. Therefore, it has been decided that the two of them will go into the miasma together tonight.

The moon was round and big tonight. Jian Ning followed Xiao Wuyu into the light blue mist outside the formation.

Xiao Wuyu, who used to walk with crutches due to his physical limitations, has now been provided with an electric wheelchair by Jian Ning. He can sit in it and not only walk, but also without getting tired.

Even someone as detached as Xiao Wuyu was shocked when the wheelchair was first brought out.

I only tried it out once, and I didn't want to get off. With this, it's like he has two extra legs. It's so convenient.

He can't get into the treehouse, but that's okay. He's already had Big White find a lot of trees to build himself another house under the big trees. He'll make the door wide so it'll be easy for him to come home.

To make it easier for him to charge his wheelchair, Jian Ning also installed a solar generator for Xiao Wuyu. With this, everything will be much more convenient in the future.

So Xiao Wuyu was in a particularly good mood tonight, and even the light blue mist in front of him seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

Today, the two of them ate the obstacle-avoiding pills made by Jian Ning. They were orange-flavored. No one knows how much orange juice Jian Ning put in them, but their mouths still smell wonderful.

The thick fog obscured the moon's light.

Visibility was extremely low, only allowing visibility up to about half a meter away. Jian Ning took out two headlamps used underground and handed one to Xiao Wuyu.

"Brother Xiao, wearing this on your head will improve your vision."

"This light is so bright, wearing it will definitely attract a lot of wild beasts. Be careful."

Xiao Wuyu didn't know Jian Ning's true strength yet, so he gave her a word of advice, took the headlamp, and put it on his head.

The sudden appearance of light in the fog stirred up the ferocious beasts within.

First came a dense buzzing sound. It was incredibly fast. This sent a chill down Jian Ning's spine; before the sound even stopped, a golden cloud appeared before her eyes. It was teeming with countless flying, golden-winged ants.

Good heavens! This is a huge problem. This thing is almost extinct even in the cultivation world. How could it appear here?

Before Jian Ning could even make a move, Xiao Wuyu, who was in a wheelchair in front of them, waved his hand and erected a bright yellow wall of fire in front of them.

The surrounding air suddenly heated up, followed by the sound of ants flying into the flames, burning to death, and then falling to the ground with a crackling sound.

In this wave alone, it's estimated that tens of millions of ants perished in the fire.

"Brother Xiao, your flames are really useful," Jian Ning exclaimed from the side.

Most creatures, regardless of their species, are afraid of fire, especially since Xiao Wuyu's flames are of a different kind, making it easy for him to burn them to death.

I don't know if my own flames could have achieved the same effect as Xiao Wuyu's.

"These ants can only be burned with fire; they're not afraid of anything else. When I first came in, they bullied me quite a bit. They ate all my precious sword and several other magical artifacts."

Xiao Wuyu had suffered many losses at the hands of these golden-winged ants, and over the years he had learned this lesson the hard way.

Before they get close, set them on fire. If a lot of them die, they'll retreat back to their lair on their own.

Sure enough, the ants were burned for more than twenty minutes before they stopped their frenzied attack.

Almost instantly, all the ants retreated into the thick fog, leaving behind only a thick layer of golden powder from the burnt corpses of the ants on the ground.

Xiao Wuyu didn't waste a single drop of powder. He took out a jade box and collected all the powder on the ground. This was excellent material for refining weapons, and it wasn't easy to find.

"Brother Xiao, where did they all come from? When I went to the opposite mountain, I didn't find any powerful beasts! And is all this miasma coming from under that cliff?"

Jian Ning felt that the location here was quite strange. It didn't seem like a naturally formed terrain; it felt as if there were traces of deliberate human intervention everywhere.

"Probably. I haven't gone down to the bottom of the cliff to explore. After all, it's too dangerous there. I'm disabled, and I've never been willing to give up my life. I've been barely surviving until today."

Perhaps it's time to go and take a look.

Xiao Wuyu glanced back at Jian Ning, a clear smile on his face. Her arrival had brought a glimmer of life to his stagnant life.

How many centuries does one have left in a lifetime? He should be braver and take a gamble. Maybe he really can find a way out, and then the villagers won't have to stay isolated here anymore.

The wheelchair continued forward, making a rumbling sound as it rolled along. Jian Ning had already taken out the Ruoshui Sword, ready to strike at any moment. They had only gone about ten meters when a mournful wolf howl was heard.

Then came the sound of vibrations coming from the ground.

"A pack of wolves has arrived?" Jian Ning didn't dare to be negligent and quickly stepped in front of Xiao Wuyu's wheelchair.

Holding a sword, he looked up and, in the blink of an eye, a pack of wolves appeared in the spotlight above.

They were all emaciated, their eyes glowing with a sinister green light. Looking at the living people before them, they seemed to want nothing more than to pounce on them and devour them alive.

The lead wolf was clearly the alpha wolf, with golden fur all over its body. Its cold, ruthless eyes were fixed on Jian Ning, as if assessing what abilities she possessed to dare trespass into its territory.

"Miss Jane, please be careful. This wolf has gained sentience and is extremely ferocious. It's not an ordinary wild wolf. You could easily get hurt if you're not careful."
